THANKS for this!
I downloaded and dragged the unzipped package into my OmniPlug-Ins folder on iCloud Drive.
Then I typed into the Console, getting this:
Also tried this, predictably getting:
How does one troubleshoot from here?
You’re welcome, @SGIII.
Not getting that error, here.
In any case, updated the PlugIn in this new link:
Does it work, now ?
Did you link another iCloud folder ? Are you using the default one provided by OO ?
@SGIII, I missed one step. These are the correct steps, I think.
To attach the handler to the current Outline, we should call onCellChanged method with the handler as the parameter and store it in a variable.
I would type (in the Console):
const redHandler = PlugIn.find("com.unlocked2412.conditionalFormatting").handler('redHighlighting')
Attaching the handler and returning a PlugIn.Handler.Registration …
const registration = onCellChanged(redHandler)
To detach the handler, I would type (again, in the console):
registration.remove()
I can’t remember whether I’m using the default iCloud folder (mine is OmniPlug-Ins at the top level) but in any case it works now!
My goal is to apply colors to rows depending on values contained in the text of a target column, say the Cat column (which may have longer text than shown here, multiple words).
Will study this more later. Thanks so much!

Hi Gabriel, could you share this file again?
Thanks and sorry for the trouble.
Hi, @Bernard-o. Sure. Per your request, I’ve just uploaded it to my repository.

Thank you for the swift reply :)
Do you, or any of the others, notice the app slowing down when this is active? I just tested (it works!) but I notice a bit of lag in the text showing up in the screen as I type (probably because the app is checking for the string).
(On a M1 MBP)
Thanks for the feedback. I unlinked a folder with other scripts/plugins and it improved after that. I had already had this problem in the past, when having a few plugins could cause the app to slowdown.
You might try checking the validation functions in those plug-ins to figure out where the issue is. I have quite a few plug-ins installed without any noticeable slowness, but all it takes is one slow validation function to slow down every interaction: plug-in actions appear in menus (and sometimes other places like toolbars), and menu validation happens with every input event. (I recommend limiting any validation to work that can be done in a small amount of constant time. Or just doing any needed validation when your action is actually getting called, rather than preemptively doing it within the plug-in’s validation function.)

Thanks for the valuable input Ken. Could you please show dummy Plug-In code exemplifying those two suggestions ?
